This recipe was a disaster! The lamb shanks were tough and the risotto was gluey. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I loved the flavor of the lamb shanks, but the risotto was a bit bland. I think I would add some more herbs and spices to the risotto next time.

The lamb shanks were a bit tough, but the risotto was delicious. I think I would try cooking the lamb shanks for longer next time.

I wasn't sure about the lemon risotto at first, but it was actually really good. The lemon flavor was subtle and it paired well with the lamb.
